Shrimp Louie Salad
Our shrimp Louie salad is LOADED with extra toppings and big flavors. It makes a hearty and filling meal. The shrimp get seasoned with a chile margarita seasoning but you can use your favorite seasoning to change up the flavor profile. We got adventurous with the toppings to give the salad an updated look and flavor. Crispy fried onion rings add a sweet, salty flavor and crisp crunch that contrasts with the creamy avocado and goat cheese.

Make the Dressing
- Combine all the ingredients for the dressing in a medium bowl and whisk well. Cover the dish and store it in the refrigerator.
Cook the shrimp.
- Coat the shrimp in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle the seasoning over them. Stir well to coat all the shrimp in the seasoning.
- Heat some olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes on each side then transfer to a plate. Don’t crowd the shrimp. If your pan is small then cook them in batches.
- Set the shrimp aside to cool while you steam the asparagus.
Steam the asparagus.
- Put some ice water in a large bowl and set it aside.
- Place one inch of water in the bottom of a large pot. Place the asparagus inside a collapsable steamer basket and set it in the pot. Bring the water to a boil then cover with a lid.
- Steam the asparagus for 4 to 5 minutes or until tender yet still crisp. Transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop them from cooking.
